That is one beautiful gun. I would do nothing to it except to shoot it and enjoy it for years. I can only hope to someday own a gun that nice.

Default Opinions on Restorations

Since we are playing what if, and yes I know it's not a Parker.

What about this one?

I have one similar but no stock head repair.

Thanks, Will

Will, I would have the action tightened up and put back on face and then have the checkering redone by a professional. I would have him take a look at the pistol grip and make it presentable. Other than that I would not touch the gun for restoration purposes. It is a great old gun to me.

It's a matter of preference, If your going to own and shoot it for 50 years as I would. Then its going to need some work eventually. Enjoy them, if you want to buy something for an investment visit a banker.

Restored guns that are identified as restored or as an upgrade are personal preference. A vh that is described as a gh with skeet specs( but not called a skeet gun) is pure dishonesty! My one and only Parker is a 1950 Remington restored 1922 PHE with original specs so no prejudice advanced or implied.
